Reading the Maintenance Minder

Maintenance Minder

Your vehicle displays engine oil life and maintenance service items on the multi-information display to show you when you should perform engine oil replacement and indicated maintenance service.

Based on the engine operating conditions and accumulated engine revolutions, the onboard computer in your vehicle calculates the remaining engine oil life and displays it as a percentage.
